Wake Up, Writer!

A good, brief interview with novelist Jonathan Ames, promoting his latest, Wake Up, Sir! is up at The Modernist: I went out to Lake Michigan just now, and that was kinda cool, but there did seem to be a fair amount of garbage washed up along the edge, so I just put my feet in. I kind of thought of swimming in there because on this little book tour I’ve swam in the Pacific, I swam in Puget Sound, so I go "Oh, I’ll swim in Lake Michigan,” but then I’m like, “Well, what’s the point of doing all these things just so you can do them?” But I put my feet in.
